The Flitchaye camp, somewhere in the depths of Mossflower woods.

Friends and enemies:

Mice: Leon, male. DoraRose, female.

Hedgehogs: Stonepaw, male.

Badgers: Zinnia, female.

Mini weasels: Muldoon, male, Chieftain of the Flitchaye. Various other spoofs.

Leon frowns as he looks at the beasts surrounding him. He still has his hood on and looks at the spears, well no smoking herbs but that may not be a good thing as Muldoon steps forwards and motions for a warrior to grab him from either side on the left and right and makes him kneel so he can better glare at him" Where um others...answer now"

Stonepaw has gotten to the river bank, he gave the mouse 5 mins and meant it as he goes to head back, he will trust the eagle and there is just something bout birds he rather not stay close to then. He heads back to the camp swiftly.

DoraRose has been awake for others. Seeing just who has entered (and been subsequently captured), she breathes a sigh of relief and shouts, "He is a creature of Redwall! If you kill him, something really bad will happen!!" Like the Warrior going all Bloodwrath on them, but she refrains from mentioning that.

Muldoon smirks as he taps Leon's nose "Slay um time..."He turns to look at the mousemaid and smirks "Flitchaye not carelike of where furs live!" He turns back to Leon, "Last word do say?..Notta lettum." The mouse struggles when the tribe leader pulls out this blow dart, think...think fast! He uses his tail to pull out the stone and mutters something remembered meaning peace no harm or something like that, luckily he said it right Muldoon drops the blow dart and suddenly looks shocked.Ok...why is it quiet now? Well no one died at least.

Stonepaw made it to camp and of course these pests for him as he kicks and tries to knock them out "Release me ya little pests!" so much for quiet.

DoraRose had been about to leap forward (still bound, of course) to bite whoever of these little midget weasels was closest, but then her husband did that thing. She looks between everyone, mouth and eyes wide open in surprise. Well, she, at least, is quiet.

Leon watches as the tribe beasts back off and Muldoon steps forwards and stares at him, flips off the hood and circles him a couple times, it's been a few seasons and sometimes one's mind needs a memory jog, "It is one that braveum zorn waters..." Leon blinks, well he didn't think the river was too bad, well maybe to someone that age at the time, seeing the necklace he frowns as it confirms he is chieftain, he nods "Muldoon." He looks over at Stonepaw and DoraRose "They are with me, release them" Muldoon nods and singles for them to be released.

Stonepaw jerks away and dusts off his cloak and mutters "Still pests..." He folds his arms over his chest curious on what's going on.

DoraRose continues to stare at her husband and the Chieftain as she is released. Slowly standing, she rubs her wrists and tries to go stand by her husband's side. "Leon, love, what's going on?" She asks quietly.

Leon doesn't answer right away, he is speaking to Muldoon "Your father...Aluf give me the stone. It means no harm to come, it means friends or least not enemies. You are lucky no one died, one is ill but she will recover. " Muldoon nods quickly "No harmum furs...but furs needum off land" Leon can understand that "Well these furs are with me, they go with me and we leave now." Muldoon seems to make a mental note of this and nods.

Stonepaw watches this, he is a little confused by it all and just stares "So...can we leave now?"

DoraRose crosses her arms. "I need my axe. And everything else that you took. .....please." She adds the 'please' as an afterthought, trying to help her husband keep his....alliance? Wait, did /Leon/ just become the hero? Cool...

Muldoon frowns and says something and well they can give back some things, like the ax but the food is...well its gone, as is drinks and the rope is messed up. Other stuff is just fine. All is basically well. "You...go now"

Leon nods and breaths a sigh of relieve, well that went a LOT better than he thought it would, "Ok we need to get home"

Stonepaw says, "Sounds good ta me, welll not my home but a visit be nice"

DoraRose gets her axe back and refrains from hugging it. Instead she goes to hold her husband's paw and smiles at the Flitchaye Chieftain. "Oh, I'm /more/ than ready to go. Let's just both hope that we NEVER see each-other again." She's ready to go. Following her husband wherever he leads...

the group is escorted out and the weasels seems to keep their end of the deal, they are let go and not followed. Leon will also make sure Zinnia is with them, let Thunderwing know he is ok and their next stop is the abbey and the should be there in less than a day now.

Redwall Abbey Entryway....

Zinnia feels better than she did before, a rest and slow walk helped, she smiles as Redwall is in sight now.

Stonepaw looks impressed "Well, looks int'resting so far. I could stay a few days here"

DoraRose is limping slightly, having accidentally stepped on a pokey twig on the way here. Leaning heavily on her axe, she, too, smiles at the sight of the abbey. "'Tis very interesting. It's home..."

Leon smiles as he goes to the gates "Let's just get inside I am sure others will be glad to see us"

Zinnia nods, by now she knows Xander is inside somewhere and because of this she can be in a better mood. She is still unsure of how others have felt of her away, but she will find that out in time as she also is glad to be home.

Stonepaw chuckles "My home is that boat, I am just glad she was not damaged by anything or anyone and she should be safe till I return"

DoraRose smiles, then bites her lip. "I hope whatever Lily did wasn't too bad......" Little do they know..... She hurries forward a little as the gates come in sight. "C'mon!" She doesn't want to admit it, but she really is a bit on the excited side to be back home!

Leon follows his wife and smiles as they are at the gates, "It is just good to be home, a little early is fine with me as I missed home"

Zinnia says, "I missed the abbey as well. I wonder if beasts missed us"

Stonepaw nods "I am sure ya have friends that missed ya...family maybe even"

The gates open after DoraRose pounds on them a few times, and then she is bowled over by LilyMoore, who is crying and hugging her mother at the same time. They fall onto the ground as Angela comes hobbling out, shaking her stick at the Master Healer. "Why didn't ye come and let me know that ye were back the first time???? I've been worried sick!! An' 'ow did you fix the trouble? What was the trouble??? Nobeast told me!! An' another thing: the Infirmary is all yours, and so 'elp me, if ye don't take a vacation on a regular basis, ye liddle whipersnapper, I'll tan yer 'ide!!" And then the grumpy old mouse is trying to give her grandson-in-law a hug. "Oh, and welcome back, sonny."

Leon blinks, wait how did she know? "How did you...know...." He sighs, his only guess is Zee, he will have to talk to that badger and soon. "The trouble is not trouble any more I promise." He does accept the hug though and smiles, for now Caleb must be elsewhere, kitchen most likely.

Zinnia stays off to the side as Leon and Dorarose is greeted, she looks at the entry quietly letting the family have their reunion.

Stonepaw folds his arms over his chest, he knows no one here just the beasts from the boat. He just watches for now.

"Butterclaw saw you come the first time, Daddy, and then he told me and I told Nana," Lily says as she stands and goes to hug her father. Dora stands and gets hugged by her grandmother, who then turns to the badger and offers her a hug. "Glad to see ye back, love." The old mouse smiles at the hedgehog. "Welcome to Redwall, son. I am Angela Quietfeet, assistant to Leon here, who is our Master 'Ealer and married to my granddaughter Rose. Welcome."

Leon nods "Oh...well guess someone besides Zee saw me, that's ok I just didn't want to worry any beast a had to...talk to someone is all and I did and all is well now, all is fairly good."

Zinnia seems surprised she is being hugged, she does accpect it and gives a gentle hug of her own, "Well one beast is glad to see me I guess" She says quiely, "Not sure of many others"

Stonepaw snorts "Yeah nice talk..intresting talk." He leaves it at that and nods to the older mouse "Good day lass, I be Stonepaw it be nice ta meet ya"

Angela backs up and extends a paw to the hedgehog. "Nice to meet ye, I'm sure, Stonepaw. All law-abiding beasts who come 'ere in peace are welcome.....and occasionally the ones who don't keep laws," she adds as a joke. DoraRose puts a paw around her daughter's shoulders, then lets her go hug the badger. "I'm glad you're back, Zinnia! And I'm so happy that you're talking again!" Lily says earnestly. Rose whispers in her husband's ear, "Do you wanna ask Lily now about what happened, or later, in a few days, after we're rested up?"

Leon listens to the whisper than only he hears, no one else hears, he hmms as he whispers back, to just Dora so only she hears him. "Later is fine love, maybe tomorrow unless the abbot brings it up"

Zinnia smiles at the hug, "Yeah...I guess" She looks around seeming worried as she looks over at Leon, Leon knows right the answer to ...."Where is Xander, you said he was here but not who with or if he was ok just he was here with an abbey beast"

Stonepaw shakes her paw "Not ta worry I be on of the good beasts, live on a boat and travel de sea and lately the river." He looks over as the dibbun is mentioned "I hope de lad is ok as well"

DoraRose nods at the whisper only she hears and goes to slip her right arm around Leon's waist (her other paw being occupied by her axe). Lily shrugs. "I don't know of any new Dibbuns; I, um............I've been helping Nana......" Angela looks at the other adults, eyebrow raised. "What's this we're all talkin' 'bout now?"

Leon answers her " With Zee when I left, yes Zee is here seems he is staying the winter, I don't know. And he is fine from what I saw"

Zinnia still seems worried but nods "Ok...and Xander is my son, adopted a dibbun, a badger dibbun and he is like 3 and a half seasons."

Stonepaw lets the others talk, he is tried so he is going to go find a place to sleep. First though something to eat...then sleep.

DoraRose furrows her brow. "Why would Zee be here?" Angela waves a paw airily. "Oh, 'tis nothin' to worry about, really. I 'ad a nice chat with 'im a while back...." "Nana and Mr. Zee got drunk." Lily hesitantly interjects. The old mouse chuckles. "You're right, we did.....so, Zinnia, ye adopted a little 'un, 'ey? Did ye say 'is name is Xander?"

Leon shrugs "I don't know why Zee is here didn't ask . Xander was just with him, he said found him on the road and Xander is safe and that's what is important" He decides to check the infirm when a novice starts to say something to Angela...well he is back after all.

Zinnia nods and smiles "Yes his name is Xander, and...I am sure he is just fine, least hope he is" Yes this new mother thing takes getting use to "I may go find him and see why Uncle Zee is here." She looks confused on the drunk part and decides maybe it IS good to talk to her uncle.

Thanks for reading! Aren't you relieved that they made it back?
